History of ZAngBand|
Which is really hilarious, considering it's directly descended from Angband-- :-) |

*Which is really hilarious, considering it's directly descended from Angband-- :-) **Hey, there are a lot of variants that totally change the system around, or add an entirely different set of goals to the game |

One thing that HAS been removed is the emphasis on Tolkien. ZAngBand stands for Zelazny Angband, as many additions (including the new bosses) stem from the writings of Robert Zelazny, largely from the Great Book of Amber (I've read it, it's quite good). Lovecraft (i.e. Cthulu) has also been added in, as well as Warhammer (at least, I know those four Demon God guys are from it). Also a few references to the world of Belgarath (which I just discovered, having finished the book Belgarath The Sorcerer this afternoon). |
